The Blackening 4K 2023

A group of former African-American classmates are going to a party in a posh forest house. When they arrive, they don't find the couple who arrived beforehand, but they do find a suspicious game room, and in it, a highly intolerant board game. Suddenly the doors are blocked, and now the pals have to answer tricky questions on a black history quiz, or else one of them will die.

A gang of black college friends decides to make up for their former glory, and for this purpose, as is customary in these United States, they rent a cabin in the woods. One problem - the forest wilderness is a potentially dangerous place, and it is harmful to a large number of African-American masses to hang out in the forest wilderness. The party starts out as a highly intolerant survival game-style picnic. But brothers and sisters are not used to hardships and deprivations, that's why the game with the maniac is conducted black, and maybe in this horror-bike there will be a total break of the template.

Tim Story, who made the vinrairny film of my childhood 'Fantastic Four' turns out to be a racial fan of the humor of his people. That's why 'Darkened' can't be taken too seriously. The main emphasis Story made just on ridiculing stereotypes about the black inhabitants of the planet earth. I have to say it came out kind of average.

Blacks try to joke about themselves, within the framework of modern realities. All this is imbued with the spirit of a traditional slasher, only the maniac does not cause interest, but what is happening to the 'brothers' is very even. The plot is very simple. Maniac obsessed with games on the racial theme, utrobno achieves his own, and the rest of the squealing cast in every possible way opposes his demise. Story didn't make up a plot bicycle.

The movie essentially coasts by not for its horror component, but for its skillful exploitation of the acting ensemble. Suddenly the whole cast realized that it is impossible to make such a movie on serious terms, and therefore the degree of delirious-themed jokes grows with every minute. Which is unrealistically satisfying. For it turned out that Tim Story perfectly understands what 'self-irony' is and how to work with this term in the framework of black horror comedy.
